New Bathroom

I decided that the girls were too old for yellow ducks, so we redid their bathroom. The nice thing about having two girls is that you can go 100% girly! Since my Dad is in Mongolia and my mom was in Ohio, I did the painting myself (It was the first thing I had painted myself and probably the last) I had a hard time finding pictures to match, so I had them each paint their own onto canvas (total price $15 for paint and everything). They had fun doing them and are very proud that their artwork is hanging in their bathroom. Next project....the kitchen!

Abby's birthday and the 4th


Abby decided that instead of a big party this year, she wanted to have her cousin come over and spend the night. We went to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast. Then we went to Great Times and had fettuccine for lunch. That evening we had family over for pizza and cake. Olivia spent the night that night and the next day Abby wanted to go to the pool. Here is Abby with her Barbie cake (cuz every girls needs a Barbie cake). Ryan baked the cake (he is a self proclaimed master baker) and I constructed and decorated it.




We went up to my sister's house for the 4th. We set off some fireworks of our own then we were able to see the Geist fireworks from their front porch. It was the perfect place to watch them since it was pouring!
